Optimus Prime #25

END OF THE ROAD! The battle is over. Heroes have fallen. Worlds have died. Now Optimus Prime faces his final ordeal-as past, present, and future collide. Who will stand with him? And when it's all over, who will carry the mantle of "Prime?"

As with most of the other issues inOptimus Prime, Kei Zama is on artwork and delivers some great imagery. At the start of the series, I felt her artwork was a bit rough, but she's really grown on me since then as her comfort in Transformershas grown. Her final issue has some very evocative images, from Bumblebee walking along a beach, Orion Pax's birth or the twisted face of Unicron. The expressions she gives the bots as they move through their sorrow is well done and quite clear. A couple images that stand out is the look of resignation on Prowl's face during his chat with Shockwave or the quick smile as Optimus finally finds peace. Josh Burcham's colours compliment Zama's work as he gives the issue a lot of vibrancy to the characters and backgrounds. Zama and Burcham definitely pulled out all the stops for the finale.
